Blue Mountains Sunset Tour | See Kangaroos & Koalas (Private Tour)

About this tour

A private seven-hour outing from Sydney to the Blue Mountains that reaches three acclaimed lookout points timed for sunset. Your driver collects you from your Sydney CBD hotel around midday and navigates inland, stopping at Featherdale wildlife park to see koalas and kangaroos, then moving through walking tracks and panoramic vistas before returning by evening. You choose between two route options depending on preference—one includes Lincoln's Rock and cascade walk, the other swaps these for Govetts Leap lookout.

• See koalas and kangaroos at Featherdale wildlife park
• Walk cascade trail and explore Lincoln's Rock
• Private minivan or sedan, no large tour groups
• Hotel pickup and return included from Sydney CBD

What to expect

You'll start the day being collected from your accommodation in central Sydney. The drive west takes you through urban sprawl before reaching bushland proper. At Featherdale, spend time observing Australian wildlife in an open-setting park rather than behind glass. The second half involves moderate walking to various outlooks where the landscape shifts dramatically—deep valleys, layered ridges, and native vegetation. The route builds toward your final lookout point, where you'll wait for the sun to drop behind the distant ranges, painting the sky in warm tones. Departure back to Sydney happens around 6 pm, with arrival back at your hotel by 7:30 pm.

Good to know

Departure times shift based on sunset timing—expect pickup between noon and 2 pm depending on season. Children aged 0–7 require an approved car seat; bring your own or arrange one beforehand with the operator. All guides speak English only. Bring water (complimentary bottle provided), comfortable walking shoes, and a light layer for cooler mountain air.
